Welcome to Priorities, an indie cafe nestled in the charming suburb of Alderley, Queensland. This delightful coffee bar beckons you with its unique atmosphere and exceptional offerings, making it a must-visit for both locals and travelers alike.

From the moment you step through the doors of Priorities, you are enveloped in a minimalist haven that beautifully balances warmth and simplicity. The space has been carefully curated to provide a clean and uncluttered environment, perfect for enjoying a stellar cup of coffee or spending a leisurely afternoon with friends. With both indoor and outdoor seating options, you can choose to enjoy your coffee while soaking up the sun or amidst the cozy ambiance inside.

Now, let’s talk about what truly sets Priorities apart: the coffee. As echoed by customer reviews, the coffee here is nothing short of spectacular. As Joshua aptly put it, the brew is a delightful blend that is impressively light yet bursting with flavor, transcending the ordinary light milky brews found in many cafes. Amanda mentions that even the “large” coffee seems more substantial in taste than volume, indicating a focus on quality over quantity that any coffee connoisseur would appreciate.

Moreover, the baristas at Priorities are not just skilled; they are passionate. As Ali noted, the service is exceptional, with knowledgeable baristas who are eager to share their coffee wisdom. Whether you’re enjoying a cup of decaf or a robust espresso, you’ll find that every sip reflects their dedication to quality and craft.

In addition to coffee, Priorities offers a selection of delightful pastries and even some libations, such as locally sourced wines and beers, which are a perfect pairing for that morning coffee or afternoon catch-up session. Adriel Reddy highlights the enticing variety available, making it a well-rounded spot for different tastes – coffee by day, wine by night!

Plus, the inviting atmosphere fosters community. With a chess board available outside and seating arrangements conducive to conversation, it’s easy to see why Jayden calls it a great place to connect with friends or to grab a quick coffee on the way to work. And keep an eye out for their Saturday “wine & tune” sessions; a delightful way to unwind and enjoy live music with a glass in hand.

If you’re looking for a cafe that prioritizes quality over everything else, where the coffee is crafted with care and the vibe is as rich as the brews, make sure to visit Priorities. This gem in Alderley is the perfect spot for coffee lovers and social butterflies alike, promising a consistently delightful experience with every visit.

Discovered a fantastic coffee bar worth exploring during my travels today. I was immediately drawn to its indie and hip atmosphere, radiating a captivating aesthetic. The standout feature was undoubtedly the exceptional coffee, a refreshing departure from the typical light milky brews found everywhere nowadays. This coffee was a delightful blend, impressively light on the palate yet bursting with a diverse array of flavours. It's a must-try for anyone seeking a unique and satisfying coffee experience.

Such a great neighbourhood spot. They sell wine, beer, bread, coffee and pastries, when I remarked they just needed cheese I was told they do something on Friday's. I grabbed a wine, some coffee bean, a pastry and a coffee. All were great and if I can I'll be going back again.

MINIMALISTIC CAFE The vibe is casual, tasteful, and simple. Clean, uncluttered, and focused on coffee. Indoor/outdoor seating. A chess board, if so inclined, sits outside on a table. A steel clip next to a water bowl for client pets. COFFEE Excellent. The large cup is the smallest volume I have come across so far compared with other local coffee shops within 2 km of each other. Does the taste of the coffee justify the smaller size? I will leave that to you. FOOD Definitely not their focus. No bagels were available the morning I visited, but a variety of pastries. No GF options I could see. I selected the savoury muffin ( pastry dough in a muffin shape ) packed with sundried tomato, with cheese & bacon on top. It was delicious and a generous size. I was not offered if I would like it heated? Looking around the cafe, I saw there was no microwave present. OVERALL The service was polite and prompt. Good music welcomed you upon arrival, and the atmosphere was relaxed.

Service is ace, and a reason to why you would want to come back over and over. The barista knows his coffee and very happy to pass on that wisdom. The decaf coffee is pretty good. Not a lot of seating option indoors, so better to be prepared to sit outside.

Easily the best coffee joint in Alderley. Coffee is consistently great, vibes are immaculate, they're always playing bangers, fantastic merch. The owner pays a ton of attention of the atmosphere and branding of the space and it always feels like a welcoming and fun environment to be in. In addition to that, the wine nights are really cool and a great way to spend a weekend afternoon and evening. I cannot recommend Prio enough.
